What are we thinking? Reflections on Church and Society from Southern African Methodists.

What are we thinking? Reflections on Church and Society from Southern African Methodists.My enthusiasm for this book is fired by a number of factors. First, there is the variety of authors and topics. Second the variety of topics reflects key points in our social, cultural, economic and political context. Third, there is a crying need for up-to-date books that relate the whole gospel to the whole world. Fourth, the book does not aim to indoctrinate us, but rather challenge us to become thinking Christians in our own contexts. And while Christian readers of all denominations will be challenged and enriched by this book, a fifth reason for my enthusiasm is that it gives contemporary expression to the spirit of John Wesley. Not only were his interests wide ranging, as are the topics in this book, but he managed to develop that rare and precious mix of a theology that is simultaneously passion and reasonable, both deeply spiritual and socially engaged. That is the excellent mix that this book offers. (Prof Neville Richardson) Topics covered: Environmental ethics, Postmodernism, emergent Church, Wesleyan theology, mission, gender issues, same sex, homosexuality, Biblical interpretation, Truth, youth, African theology, Methodism.

The Perfect (Ofsted) Lesson (Independent Thinking Series)

The Perfect (Ofsted) Lesson (Independent Thinking Series)In the United Kingdom, there is a national system in place that examines how well a school is managed, and what processes are in place to ensure that standards of teaching and learning improve. This inspection process is crucial in evaluating the quality of leadership and management and the school's capacity to improve.
This book presents ways in which a teacher can make sure in the brief time that an inspector (or other assessor) spends in their classroom, that the lesson ticks enough boxes to impress AND gain that outstanding grade. Jackie Beere leads the teacher through the criteria to search for the 'x-factor' - the magic ingredients that will elevate lessons to outstanding. This means demonstrating exceptional progress in learning and that the quality of learning is exceptional.
Some other vital ingredients that will elevate lessons to outstanding include:
--Differentiating for various groups of learners
--Developing independent and resilient learners
--Challenging the most able learners
--Sharing the criteria for success
To ensure these are demonstrated when being observed Jackie provides teachers six steps to success: 1. Be in control, right from the start and set up the learning environment
2. Stimulate curiosity and open mindedness and prepare the brain for learning
3. Set objectives of learning outcomes and engage students in the learning
4. Main lesson activities
5. Dish up the DIRT... often! (Dedicated Improvement and Reflection Time)
6. Provide the perfect plenary or review
